Seksan "The Man Who Yields To No One" Or Kwanmuang returns to ONE Championship after retiring British legend Liam Harrison in his last encounter. He now faces another striking legend, Soe "Man of Steel" Lin Oo, in an epic 142-pound catchweight contest.

ONE announced this week that the Thai fan-favorite will go one-on-one with Myanmar lethwei icon Soe Lin Oo at ONE 170. The Asia primetime tentpole event will take place at Bangkok, Thailand's Impact Arena on 24 January next year.

"The Man Who Yields To No One" needs no introduction and established himself as one of the most entertaining fighters in the striking universe. Seksan made his ONE debut in 2023, and in that year alone, he scored eight consecutive wins against world-class strikers.

His only promotional loss came against Japan's Yutaro Asahi at ONE Friday Fights 58 earlier this year. However, he came back stronger than ever and knocked out British Muay Thai royalty Liam Harrison at ONE 168: Denver. Now, he looks to continue his momentum in 2025.

The 35-year-old legend, known for his never-back-down attitude, has 202 wins in his illustrious career and has faced some of the biggest names in the game.

He will be facing one of Myanmar's biggest sporting heroes, Soe Lin Oo, who is known for his devastating strikes. After making waves in lethwei, a Burmese martial art that allows various forms of striking including headbutts, the "Man of steel" scored three back-to-back wins at ONE Friday Fights.

However, he lost his only bout against young phenom Nabil Anane earlier in September. A victory over the Thai hero could elevate Soe Lin Oo's status, and he will look forward to doing just that. The epic battle between these two legends will light up the arena.

ONE has also announced two highly anticipated World Title matches for ONE 170. Tawanchai puts his ONE Featherweight Muay Thai World Title on the line against Superbon in a rematch. Additionally, pound-for-pound great Superlek defends his ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title against Scottish knockout artist Nico Carrillo.
